Romeo Is Bleeding |
Romeo is bleeding |
but not so as you’d notice |
He’s over on |
18th Street |
as usual |
Looking so hard against the hood of his car |
Puttin' out a cigarette in his hand |
And for all the |
Pachucos |
at the pumps |
At Romero’s Paint and Body |
They all seein' how far they can spit |
Well it was just another night |
And now they’re huddled in the brake lights |
Of a |
'58 Bel Air |
And listenin' how Romeo |
Killed a sheriff with his knife |
And they all jump when they hear the sirens |
But Romeo just laughs |
All the racket in the world |
Ain’t never gonna save that |
copper |
's ass |
He ain’t never gonna see another summertime |
For gunnin' down my brother |
And leavin him like a dog |
Beneath a car without his knife |
Romeo says: hey man gimme a cigarette |
And they all reach for their pack |
And Frankie lights it for him |
And pats him on the back |
And throws a bottle at a milk truck |
And as it breaks he grabs his nuts |
They all know they could be just like Romeo |
If they only had the guts |
Romeo is bleeding but nobody can tell |
Sings along with the radio |
With a bullet in his chest |
And he combs back his feathers |
And they all agree it’s clear |
And that everything is cool |
Now that Romeo’s here |
Romeo is bleeding |
He winces now and then |
He leans against the car door |
Feels the blood in his shoes |
And someone’s cryin' at the |
5 Points |
In the phone booth by the store |
Romeo starts his engines |
Wipes the blood of the door |
And he brodies through the signal |
With the radio full blast |
Leavin' the boys there hikin' up their chinos |
And then they all try to stand like Romeo |
Beneath the moon cut like a sickle |
And they’re talkin' now in Spanish |
All about their hero |
Romeo is bleeding |
As he gives the man his ticket |
He climbs the balcony at the movies |
And he’ll die without a whimper |
Like every heroes dream |
Like an |
angel with a bullet |
And |
Cagney on the screen |
And Romeo is bleeding |
Romeo is bleeding hey man |
Romeo is bleeding hey man |
Romeo is bleeding hey man |
Romeo is bleeding |
Andele pues |
Hey pachuco |
Hey pachuco |
Hago la lucha! |
Dame esa pistola hombre |
Hijo de la chingada madre |
Ay que pinche pancho |
Hey man |
Hago la lucha |
Hago la lucha |
Vamos a dormir hombre |
Hey man |
